Meh, installing it in between the transmission output shaft and wheels, be it on a CV or a driveshaft, isn't a huge difference. Actually, coupling it to the output shaft instead of inline can be a lot more useful in terms of the available power at whatever speed. An inline motor will have the same gearing as the rear end, which means it probably won't develop decent power until high speeds, ~40-65mph depending on the gearing, which kinda offsets it's usefulness at replacing low load/low speed/low efficiency engine operation. Coupling it to the output shaft lets us optimize power output and motor efficiency via gearing, but it's also more complex.
